Product Information

Full details

The biOrb DC Extension Cable in black is designed for biOrb owners with newer DC-powered systems (late 2019 onwards, featuring white accessories) who need to extend the reach of their LED lights or air pump. Its primary benefit is providing flexibility in aquarium setup placement. A key consideration is its incompatibility with older, black accessory systems.

FAQs

What biOrb systems is this extension cable compatible with?

This extension cable is compatible only with biOrb DC-powered systems released from late 2019 onwards. These systems are characterized by their white-colored air pumps and transformers.

Will this cable work with my older biOrb that has black accessories?

No, this extension cable will not work with older biOrb systems that use black accessories (air pumps, transformers, or lights). It is specifically designed for the newer white DC accessory range.

What is the maximum length this cable provides?

The product description specifies it is an extension cable designed to extend the length of your connection. The exact length is not provided, but it allows for greater reach than the standard cable.

Can I use multiple extension cables together?

While not explicitly stated, it is generally not recommended to daisy-chain extension cables for low-voltage DC systems, as it can lead to voltage drop and potential performance issues. Use a single extension cable if needed.

Does this cable affect the power output to my accessories?

This cable is designed to extend the reach of the existing power connection without altering the power output. Performance will depend on the integrity of the connection and the compatible system.

How should I care for this extension cable?

Keep connections clean and dry. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage to ensure safe and reliable operation.

Troubleshooting

Accessory not powering on after connecting extension cable

Verify that the extension cable is only being used with compatible DC-powered biOrb systems (white accessories, late 2019 onwards). Check that all connections are secure at both the transformer and the accessory end. Ensure the accessory functions correctly when connected directly to the transformer without the extension cable.

Intermittent power or flickering lights

Ensure the extension cable and all other accessory connections are firmly seated. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. If damage is present, replace the cable. If the issue persists, try connecting directly without the extension cable to determine if the cable is the cause.

Accessory does not fit the extension cable connector

Confirm that your biOrb accessory and transformer are part of the newer DC system. This extension cable is designed exclusively for the newer white accessory range and will not fit older black accessory connectors.
